Desperate Times (2022 Remaster)

You called my name, you knew my number You told me everything was gonna be fine You touched my hand, and took me away from this place And I keep on thinking I'm going out of my mind Someone out there calling me I don't know what I can't see I dread to think what might be there I'm shaking now with so much fear I know, I feel I'm living in desperate times I looked to the ground, I couldn't believe my eyes The world I'm from was never that tough The life I've known is falling away from me And all of my strength may not be enough Now all is gone that I held true Am I bound to lose you too? The choking smoke obscures the sun I see so clear what I've become I know, I feel We're living in desperate times I held the world in the palm of my hand And I threw it away like a petulant child Someone out there calling me I don't know what I can't see I dread to think what might be there I'm shaking now with so much fear I know, I feel I'm living in desperate times
